A little variety shouldn’t hurt. There are plenty of Libre X or Yet Another X projects already.

Thank you so much internet stranger. Just made the switch!

I wanna switch to FOSS alternatives but swiping is either funky (FUTO) or not available for now (Floris). I ended up downgrading gboard to an older version since all this emoji stuff (especially the bitmoji sticker nonsense) really grinds my gears.

Have you been successful creating Google accounts using this?

By extension, anything that’s not self hosted means 3rd party actors snooping. American, Chinese, whoever happens to operate that machine.

I don’t want to mix tech with politics, but what in the actual fuck?

Two letters TLD like .io are ISO country codes. Catalonia’s .cat is a generic TLD in comparison. Since .io stands for the British Indian Ocean Territory and Chagos Island isn’t going to be ‘separate’ anymore by becoming part of Mauritius, IANA’s logic is that the ccTLD has to be retired. That .su is still around after the collapse of USSR isn’t a valid argument for them.

I enjoy occasional co-op gaming with people I know personally. Faceless strangers teabagging me and throwing racist insults like raging 13 year olds who just got addicted to Mountain Dew? No thanks bud, I’d rather spend an entire day scrolling through Netflix catalogues without actually watching them or something.

They probably did that to prevent “concerned citizens” from attacking their property.

Implementing an in-house encryption was raising eyebrows already back then. No e2ee as default was also a red flag since it gives users without proper knowledge a false sense of security.

The early internet also had personal website vanishing or being abandoned all the time. Static webpages don’t need constant maintenance but it’s more noticeable when it’s a community.

At least there are some criticisms. Considering it’s LinkedIn, forever, it will get drowned by a sea of synergy pivoting lunatics.

Bad opsec and illusion of anonymity will likely render all the extra steps null, most likely. Case in point, we’ve been reminding people not to torrent through Tor for years.
